Translation

a1... In (all bi)rth circles may the pure spirit never disappear for me! 36. (Through the) wri(ting of the Sukhavarga) ...
a2May I vanquish the untamed [and] shameless spirit, may I subjugate all the passions! ... the hurting ...
a2+through (body, spe)ech [and] spirit may I always evolve according to the Law that has been taught by the good ones!
a3(37.)
a4May all the beings of the five births be able to tame [their] spirit (in) all (the births)! ...
a5May I myself recognize the five elements [= the five skandhas] that ought to be known! And may I not cling [to them]! (38.)
a5+(For sure my wish may be fulfilled!)
a6May I have a pure way of living [lit. living of life] consisting of wisdom by this three-fold deed! (Avoiding) su(ffering and happiness in the sharing) ...
a6+(May I avoid the danger of the) (pass)ions,
b1[and] may I always become without anger through this deed! 39. (Which [= the Brāhmaṇavarga] makes rain jewels of meanings like) the cintāmaṇi (gem), I have written the (excellent) Brāhmaṇavarga, (super)ior (to everything,)
b2may I make manifest) the noble eightfold path (that goes to the city of Nirvāṇa!)
b2+May [the beings] (of the five births) reach the happiness (consisting in the extinction of all sufferings) through the wish coming from me!
b340. (Some) say also that: ...
b3+through love [and] belief in the omniscient.
b4How many ak(ṣaras there are) in the book ...
b5... through the Law [and] faithfullness. 41. In the regnal year of the growing k(ing) of the kings ...
b6... by a great wish, through the fruit of this deed (may) the be(ings) of the five births ...

Other

a1Möge mir in allen Geburtenreihen das reine Denken niemals vergehen! (Schmidt 1974: 114)
a5Die fünf zu wissenden Skandhas möchte ich [als] höchstes Ziel erkennen [und] nicht [daran] haften! (Schmidt 1974: 108)
b1+Den wie das Cintāmaṇi-Juwel Besitzesperlen regnen lassenden vorzüglichen [und] (aller)ausgezeichnetsten Brāhmaṇavarga habe ich mit [diesem] guten Wunsch geschrieben: Den achtgliedrigen edlen Pfad, der zur Nirvāṇa-Stadt führt, möchte ich offenbar machen! Das Glück des Erlöschens aller Leiden möchten die Fünfgeburtenwesen erlangen durch meinen eigenen Wunsch. (Schmidt 1974: 349-50, 451-2)

Commentary

Linguistic commentary

*There are some late spellings such as krentats (a3) and yāmortse (b6) and some writing errors in b1.

Parallel texts

*M 500.1, PK AS 4B

Philological commentary

*After stanza 40 there follows a conclusion including a colophon which is different from the one found in the parallel manuscript M 500.1, which is itself completed by PK AS 4B.
n1The text has pek (with fremdzeichen pa!) tākoyt, which is due to a copyist error.

Remarks

*This fragment immediately follows PK AS 5C. Left piece of a leaf with the string hole preserved.
